Flying. Fleeting. Finally.
Finally. I had the chance to pull that tsumugi silk off the shelf and weave something from it. The DH’s birthday was on Friday and I wove a silk scarf for him… not prissy, not fussy. This silk is raw and slubby… a little rough and weathered. I guess, like him.
The scarf is woven from four different colours (charcoal, dark navy, oatmeal, espresso) in a stripe pattern. I just randomly designed this on the warping board, sometimes running two colours together at the same time to create a more blended effect. A simple two-yard warp x approximately 200 ends, set at 20 epi and woven in a 2×2 twill pattern.
Now that the silk scarf is off the loom, I’ve put on my most favourite warp… the cotton warp dyed in procion. This, I’m looking forward to seeing.

Hi! So how long did it take you to weave the slubby scarf? Hours?
Love your design…
Your photos are beautiful!
oh if that’s the same cotton warp you dyed many many moons ago with the Gor-juss purples, fuschias and golds… that’s a beautiful warp… scarf? or yardage? love the slubby rough hewn silk too
A very hansome scarf.
love the colours for the wrap.
Felicia, it’s gorgeous and it’s Habu/Avril, I love the texture and I think it has the best features for the men’s scarf! So very pretty! Glad to see some posting from you =)
Your hubby’s scarf looks fantastic and I can’t wait to see what you do with the pink warp. It’s so pretty!
Wow, very nice! I hope your hubby loved it ^_^.
Can’t wait to see what you’ll be making with the new colors
The scarf you made for your husband is beautiful! I can’t wait to see your next weaving project!
You have an awesome eye for color! The scarf really is handsome. I can’t wait to see how the cotton on the loom makes up!
As usual, your work is lovely. The scarf is manly yet interesting, the colors work well together to blend in some places and accent in others. I hope he likes it.
That new warp looks very exciting! I can’t wait to see what it becomes.
That is so beautiful…like something you’d see at Barney’s. For lots of money!
Oh my gosh, I love that man’s scarf! So beautiful and perfect for a guy.
::gasp:: That’s gorgeous!
The tsumugi silk will become amazingly soft after a few washes. I knit my first lace shawl out of that fiber and was so happily surprised with how soft it has become.
I can not wait to see the procion scarf turns out. New loom???
WOW!!!! No other words necessary.
Beautiful. What a handsome scarf. And the next warp up looks like a lot of fun!
Ditto – tremendously beautiful design and colors – you are an inspiration!!!
That scarf is so beautiful! Happy belated birthday to your DH!
Gorgeous! (Both!)
OOOOHHHHHH, the birthday scarf is of course gorgeous, but you’re really speaking my language with the newest project… those colors are delicious so far. Can’t wait to see the final result!
Husband’s scarf is lovely.
Love the painted warp. Can’t wait to see it completed.
I think that this scarf is beautiful. How long did it take you to whip this up?
